I would say your first is arguably number one country song alltime. Number two I cannot go along with. I don't even think it's country. And especially not with guys like Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Hank Jr. and Waylon Jennings.
I would say ray Stevens is more folk maybe? & it reminds me that I get him and Jim Stafford mixed up as they have a similar style of song writing IMHO. I sure dig Jim on wild wood weed, spiders & snakes, swamp witch Hattie though and IIRC Ray did the Mississippi Squirrel Revival ?
and then Jerry Clower comes to mind...LOL! Marcel Ledbetter then the guy who sing Ricky Tidwell's l momma is gonna play football is that Tim Wilson?
back to country I love RWH and snake farm. country blues, and Choctaw Bingo that one is a must hear.
and another great counrty legand with the Texmex crowd was ol Freddy Fender with Rancho El Grande, silver wings, before the next tear drop falls, after the fire is gone, ect..
